Understanding the signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder in children
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological condition that primarily manifests through difficulties in socialisation, communication, and interpersonal abilities. It can be difficult to identify, and there is a lot of misconception about what the condition entails. It is a lifelong condition, that starts from birth, though it may not be obviously present in the first few years of life; some go their entire lives without ever getting a diagnosis. Though it comes with its own set of challenges and necessitates some concessions, children with autism — and the people in their lives — can thrive with ample education about this condition and a bit of compassion. Dr Raman Sakhuja, a leading psychiatrist in Cardiff, sheds light on children with ASD.
